    Why Differential Equations for Engineering

    • Mathematical models are used to analyze, predict, and optimize engineering systems.
    • These models frequently use differential equations.
    • Numerical methods and analysis are often employed to solve these models computationally.

    Outline 1: Basic Concepts of Modeling

    • Differential Equations (DEs) involve unknown functions and their derivatives.
    • Real-world problems are abstracted into mathematical models using DEs.
    • Mathematical models are solved to interpret and analyze the real-world phenomena.

    Application of Differential Equations

    • Examples include falling stones, parachutist motion, water level changes in tanks, vibrating masses, and RLC circuits (electrical circuits).
    • Each example involves a differential equation that models the specific physical phenomena.

    Basic Concepts of Differential Equations

    • Classifying Differential Equations:
      • Type (ordinary or partial)
      • Order (highest-order derivative present)
      • Degree (exponent of the highest-order derivative)
      • Linearity (dependent variable and its derivatives raised to the first power)
      • Homogeneity (contains no non-differential terms when set to zero)

    Classification of Differential Equations

    • Ordinary DE (ODE) vs. Partial DE (PDE)
    • Order and Degree of DEs
      • Order: The highest derivative in the equation
      • Degree: The power/exponent of the highest derivative after rationalization

    Ordinary DE vs Partial DE

    • ODE involves a single independent variable
    • PDE involves multiple independent variables

    Linear vs Non-Linear DEs

    • Criteria for a linear DE:
      • Each term containing the dependent variable or its derivative is raised to the power of 1.
      • No product of the dependent variable and its derivatives
      • No transcendental functions (sin, cos, log, exp)

    Homogeneous & Non-Homogeneous DEs

    • Criteria to determine if a DE is homogeneous:
      • All terms are differential terms when set to zero.

    Trial( examples of DEs)

    • Several examples of differential equations are provided for categorization and testing.

    Solution of Differential Equations (DEs)

    • Existence Theorem: The conditions to ensure a solution exists
    • Solution definition: function/expression of the dependent variable, satisfying the DE.

    Solutions of First-Order Differential Equations

    • General Solutions
    • Particular solutions
    • Finding arbitrary constants
    • Initial value or boundary conditions to find particular solutions

    Solving Steps for Linear First-Order DEs (FODEs)

    • Use standard form (dy/dt + p(t)y = q(t))
    • Calculate the integrating factor
    • Multiply by the integrating factor
    • Use product rule and integration to solve for solution

    Examples of Linear First-Order DEs (FODEs)
